It is the last game before the Rugby Championship

Victor Matfield has a simple message to all the rookies in the Springbok team: 'Show you deserve to be there!'

Matfield, speaking at the captain's media briefing ahead of South Africa's one-off Test against Scotland in Port Elizabeth on Saturday, said it was not a young Springbok side going out on Saturday, it is "the Springbok side".

SA Under-20 captain Handré Pollard is one of five uncapped players who have been named in the Boks' match-23.
